Sakalaia 12

1 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e tala mamafa, ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli, ko ia ia ʻoku folahi atu ʻae ngaahi langi, mo ne ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani, pea ne ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae laumālie ʻoe tangata ʻi loto ʻiate ia.

A revelation of the LORD’s word concerning Israel: The LORD, who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:

2 “Vakai, te u ngaohi ʻa Selūsalema, ko e ipu fakailifia, ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai ʻiate ia, ʻoka nau ka kāpui ʻa Selūsalema, mo Siuta foki.

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and it will also be on Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.

3 Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te u ngaohi ʻa Selūsalema, ko e maka fakamāfasia ki he kakai kotoa pē: ko kinautolu kotoa pē te nau fua ia, te nau makafokafo ai, neongo ha tānaki fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ke tauʻi ia.”

It will happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered together against it.

4 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u tā ʻaki ʻae fakailifia, ʻae hoosi kotoa pē, pea tā ʻaki ʻae faha, ʻaia ʻoku heka ki ai: te u fakaʻā hoku mata ki he fale ʻo Siuta, pea taaʻi ke kui ʻae hoosi kotoa pē ʻae kakai.

In that day,” says the LORD, “I will strike every horse with terror and his rider with madness. I will open my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

5 Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kau pule ʻi Siuta ʻi honau loto, ‘ʻE mālohi ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema, koeʻuhi ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko honau ʻOtua.’”

The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of Armies their God.’

6 “ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u ngaohi ʻae kau pule ʻi Siuta, ke tatau mo e ʻaiʻanga afi ʻi he loto fefie, pea hangē ko e tūhulu vela ʻi he ū koane; he tenau fakaʻauha takatakai ʻae kakai ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu, pea mo e toʻohema: pea ʻe toe kakai ʻa Selūsalema ʻi hono potu pe ʻoʻona, ʻio, ʻi Selūsalema.

In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.

7 ‌ʻE fuofua fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Siuta, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa vikiviki mai kia Siuta ʻae nāunau ʻoe fale ʻo Tevita, mo e nāunau ʻoe kakai ʻo Selūsalema.

The LORD also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of David’s house and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.

8 ‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe maluʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema; pea ko ia ʻoku vaivai ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe hangē ia ko Tevita; pea hangē ko e ʻOtua ʻae fale ʻo Tevita, ʻo hangē ko e ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻi honau ʻao.

In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David, and David’s house will be like God, like the LORD’s angel before them.

9 “Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u kumi ke fakaʻauha ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema.

It will happen in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

10 Pea te u lilingi ki he fale ʻo Tevita, pea ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ʻae laumālie ʻoe ʻofa, pea mo e faʻa lotu: pea te nau sio kiate au ʻaia kuo nau hokaʻi, pea te nau tangi koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻo hangē ha taha ʻoku tēngihia ʻa hono foha naʻe taha pe, pea te ne mamahi lahi koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻo hangē ko e mamahi koeʻuhi ko e ʻolopoʻou.

I will pour on David’s house and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication. They will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for his firstborn.

11 ‌ʻE ai ʻae tangilāulau lahi ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo hangē ko e tangilāulau ʻa Hatatilimoni ʻi he teleʻa ko Mekitoni.

In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddo.

12 Pea ʻe tangi ʻae fonua, pea fai taki taha ʻe he faʻahinga; ko e faʻahinga ʻoe fale ʻo Tevita maʻana, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu; ko e faʻahinga ʻoe fale ʻo Natani maʻana, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu;

The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of David’s house apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

13 Ko e faʻahinga ʻoe fale ʻo Livai maʻana, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu; ko e faʻahinga ʻo Simei maʻana, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu;

the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;

14 Pea mo e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoku toe, ko e taki taha maʻana ʻi hono faʻahinga, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu.

all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
